Never before have so many fixtures been fulfilled in an equivalent period.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Qualifiers for the Women\u2019s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024 and UEFA Women\u2019s Nations League games were on the agenda for European teams. Nations in the AFC, CAF and Concacaf zones, meanwhile, were involved in qualifying matches for their respective continental tournaments, with OFC representatives \u2013 with the exception of Aotearoa New Zealand \u2013 competing at the Pacific Games.<\/p>\n<p>This plethora of events inevitably had an impact on December\u2019s FIFA\/Coca-Cola Women\u2019s World Ranking, the last of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, reigning world champions Spain (1st) claimed top spot for the first time. They are the fourth team in football history to reach the coveted position, after the USA (2nd, up 1), Germany and Sweden. France (3rd, up 2) make up the podium.<\/p>\n<p>England (4th, -) remain just below those three highflyers, ahead of previous leaders Sweden (5th, down 4). Germany (6th), the Netherlands (7th), Japan (8th), Korea DPR (9th) and Canada (10th) complete the top ten, which no longer features Brazil (11th, down 2).<\/p>\n<p>As for the remainder of the top 50, Italy (14th, up 3), Philippines (38th, up 6) and Uzbekistan (47th, up 3) made noteworthy advances. The biggest moves came further down the standings, however, where Congo DR (102nd, up 9), El Salvador (104th, up 11) and Namibia (126th, up 14) all made considerable progress.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to La Roja, Philippines, Haiti (51st), Cambodia (116th) and Cabo Verde (131st) attained their highest-ever placings.<\/p>\n<p>Six nations either appear for the first time (Central African Republic and Macau) or reappear (Korea DPR, American Samoa, Madagascar and Bahamas) in the World Ranking, which brings the number of teams listed to 192 \u2013 a new record! And with six other national sides just one match away from joining, it could grow even further in March.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Record number of teams (192) included in standings Namibia make strong progress, five nations&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,25,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fecafoot","category-fifa","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
